Chapter 572 Luffy and his Nakama Vs. Pacifista!
BlackStar_BH:
The past two days have been very tough on me and my small family. We faced a powerful earthquake that managed to destroy half of our home. Fortunately, we were able to escape without anyone getting hurt. I thank God for this blessing.
Right now, I am living in a hotel with the little money I managed to save, thanks to my Patrons and my friends. I really don't know how to thank you enough, but I am truly grateful.
As for this novel, there's no need to worry. I will continue writing daily, no matter the circumstances, even if another earthquake comes. I'll keep writing, but I won't promise that if I really pass away.
I'll leave you with my PayPal link. If any hero of you want to help me rebuild my home, I will be truly grateful:

"Hello... Huh?" "Helloooo~..." When Kizaru was contemplating how to deal with Hawkins, Apoo, Drake, and Urouge, his portable Den Den Mushi rang with a beep.
"... Ahh... Is this it? This is Borsalino..."
((Uncle!!! You do have a portable Den Den Mushi!! Why haven't you contacted me!!?)) The angry voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"... Oh! Ahh! Sentoumaru!"
((What do you mean, "Ahh"!? You've arrived on the island, right!?))
...
..
((Whatever, please just get to work!! We know who to go after: Strawhat Luffy, Captain Kidd, and Trafalgar Law. Who will you start with?))
"Ohh, is that the case...? Then..." Kizaru nodded.
...
[Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 12.]
"Zoro!!!"
Returning to the battle between the Pacifista and the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro fell first because he was still affected by the injuries he sustained in Thriller Bark and which hadn't fully healed on Merveille Island.
"Uhuhhh...!!" Zoro groaned in pain.
"Haa...!! Hey, Zoro...!! He got you so bad you can't even move...!?" Luffy said worriedly.
"Haa... Haa... Don't worry about him, Luffy!! We have to beat that first!!" Sanji understood what was happening with Zoro, so he chose to eliminate the threat first.
But Zoro still pressed on and tried to stand. "Cough...!! Zeeh... Zeeh...!!"
Sanji was surprised to see this and thought to himself: (There's no way his injuries from that time are healed...!! To see that face again... Just looking at him must hurt.)
Sanji looked towards the Pacifista, which looked exactly like Bartholomew Kuma, and pondered: (He looks exactly the same as one of the Shichibukai... What the hell is going on here!?)
Suddenly, Chopper moved swiftly to attack the Pacifista he noticed in turn: "Roseo Metel!!!" exclaimed Chopper.
Holy Land Marigoa, Pangaea Castle:
Seated upon her throne, a place meant to remain vacant, Imu gracefully shifted her sitting position by crossing her right leg over her left. Her immaculate, long white legs exuded an air of flawless elegance.
"The battle has finally concluded... they managed to prevail against him after expending all their energy," Olvia remarked after reading through the entire battle scene.
"Huh!? Why did another Kuma appear... Sentoumaru, Vegapunk's bodyguard? Well... it's evident that things are taking a turn for the worse."
"Robin..." Olvia bit her lower lip, growing increasingly anxious at this moment. She dreaded witnessing another scene where Robin loses those closest to her.
Bell-mre felt the same.
Not far from the group of goddesses, Vegapunk and his associates were perplexed.
Particularly Vegapunk, who was particularly puzzled.
"Huh... Was this portly individual meant to be my future bodyguard?"
"PX-4... and now PX-1... I comprehend."
Brook, Clover, Saul, and Homing all directed their attention to him, awaiting his explanation.
"Crafting potent war machines isn't difficult, provided the resources are available... Hence, an invention like the Pacifista isn't a major feat," Vegapunk stated, then sighed before continuing...
"But I'm fortunate that I never developed anything of this sort for the World Government. Otherwise, I'd be consumed by regret now... This Pacifista is far more intricate than it appears."
"What do you mean, Vegapunk?" Clover inquired.
"This is an expandable project. It's evident that the Pacifista represents only the initial generation, with future iterations to come." Vegapunk spoke with confidence.
Certainly, no one in this world could rival him in dissecting the mysteries and secrets of inventions conceived by his future counterpart.
"And now... Does your creation of these Pacifistas mark you as an enemy to Luffy and my counterpart in the manga?" Brook interjected with an intriguing question.
"The scientist isn't concerned about making enemies... Our primary focus is research and development resources... and the outcomes of research and development."
